Hey there. Newbie here.

[Ashlee0715]

Alright, short and sweet right? Just started vaping 1/3/16 first kit I bought is an ijust 2 kit from eleaf and I must say I have fallen in love with it!

Since I'm new I'd like some insight into what some of the best liquids are, how often coils, wicks, ect are replaced, any safety info and anything that anyone wants to throw out there for me!

Before I started vaping I was hitting a pack of cigs every 2 days, so I started at 6mg nicotine and I am really happy. Hopping to be at 0 by Decemeber. Any tips greatly appreciated!

Welcome to the forum Ashlee0715!
Coils usually get changed once the jooz you use starts to taste "off" that's when I re-wick. If rebuilding make a new wick or simply unscrew the old coil and put in a new one. The juice can get darker but that doesn't mean it's bad. It just gets darker with oxidization.
There is no "best jooz".
Juices are subjective to the user and if you find one you like then it's the best!
I'd need more info about your gear to help you further with all the extraneous info etc.
There is no set standard of time for when you should change these things.
I was a 3 PAD smoker and started with 24-36 and used WTA that was about 6 years ago. For my part I cannot fathom anyone wanting to start at 6mg but if that works for you awesome! There is no wrong way to vape as far as what you're starting mg are.
Best wishes on quitting but you shouldn't rush to cut your nicotine there is no need to truly!
Good luck on your vaping journey!
C.B.

Hi and welcome. You'll know when to change the coil; when they burn they taste foul or stop working entirely. You shouldn't have much in the way of safety issues at all with that gear. There's no such thing as "best juice." It's too subjective. I suggest you go to a local vape shop; many of them have "tasting bars" and you can try the juice they sell for free. I DIY my own, so I always get what I want. Last, don't be in a huge hurry to cut you nic. That way smoking lies. I know what I'm talking about on that, believe me; it happened to me. Good luck, and sing out with the (inevitable) questions you will have as you learn more about it. This is a friendly place. Nobody will laugh at your asking them, I promise.

Welcome aboard.
If 6mg juice works for you then you are good. Coil life as has been stated is subjective. Dark sweet juice will clog up a coil much more quickly than clear non sweet juice. Replacement of the coil should occur when the vapor production falls off (decreases) and/or the flavor is off.
If you were smoking 1/2 PAD and vaping in a similar manner your coils should last for several tanks of juice.

6 mg is a great place to start for an ex smoker. I is is always best to start as low a nicotine setting as you feel comfortable vaping.

how often coils, wicks, ect are replaced

Taste and watch the color of the wick. When it's starts to turn dark, you are approaching change over time. Often times a little darkness is ok, then your taste will confirm the need to replace.

taste is VERY subjective. Plain strawberry, not mixed with something else, I found 50+. Just plain strawberry. Also, your gear/topper will affect the flavor.

I keep track of what I try and rate it for reference.
